Mr. Parkinson June 18, 1969 
It have received some information about a 6-months old female 
bongo that has been captured in the Ivory Coast. I have sent 
out a further inquiry. If it proves feasible, we may try to 
pick this one up. We will also try to get some information 
on the animal as this is a different environment to Kenya. 
From what I understand, the West Coast animals are smaller 
and darker than those of Kenya. 
I am not really excited about this animal because we will be 
dealing with a former French colony and generally they tend 
to ship their animals through Paris. Time alone will tell. 
I am so excited about your letter that I find it difficult 
to concentrate on my budget presentation. Please keep me 
informed. 
Would it be advantageous if I transferred another $5,000 
to your bank account in New York? 
Sincerely yours, 
Theodore H. Reed, D.V.M. 
Director
